6m is alot lets talk when they are close.

6.5 m isn't a lot when PS3 is regularly outselling 360 by over 50k.

Well in my opinion sony haves now only two BIG possible system sellers.

GT5 and FFXIII when one of those is released Sony will have sold more PS3's than x360's (somewhere in 2011).

Looking to the games that will come for PS3 and X360 ..PS3 should have no problem anymore to sell more than X360 Weekly/monthly in Europe and Japan. X360 need a enormous exclusive (enormous like Dragon Quest 10/X).

Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Gears of War 2 (the next banjo) should move some Hardware though.

Last week the PS3 was riding high on a lift from the biggest Sony-associated franchise released thus far, and it still couldn't get 100k in front of the Xbox 360.

Your kidding right? The same game launches on both consoles (and are of the same quality), with the 360 being cheeper and having exclusive DLC. With this, the PS3 still sells 1/3 more then the 360, and you find this a failure on Sony's part?

There are no words for the bias in your head.... no words.

You truly have no grasp on the concept of context huh?

For example, taken as you wrote them, my words look silly, left in the context you cherry-picked them from, they make perfect sense, and are a perfectly reasonable observation. 


I didn't cherry pick anything. What could I have left in that would change what you meant by that statement?

 



Perhaps the fact that I was responding to the OP and the subsequent 20-30 lines of analysis?



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Can someone explain to me why every single sony fan thinks that the 360 has little ammo in it?

Gears 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2, Banjo 3 is only a glimpse of what we are seeing this year.

I am utterly confused.

the only game on that list that will gauranteed sell consoles is gears of war 2. the others are either unknown as to what will happen or are just too hardcore to sell systems.

bioshock and mass effect are prime examples. both mid 90 rated games, yet neither have shifted more than 2 million copies and didn't really drive console sales, relative to their install bases in each region. might i add that mass effect was released during the holiday season too. even uncharted benefited more from the holiday season. it is sub 90 rated with 7 million (at the time) less customers  to sell to, but is only 300k behind in sales with mass effect according to vg chartz. gt5:p is only a 'demo', yet it sold/selling much faster than both me and bioshock, AND still with a smaller userbase, yet this game DID drive console sales. 360 games are too hardcore in my opinion. they're really good, but don't have that much appeal to shift consoles. with a couple exceptions of course.

For the same reason every 360 fan thinks the PS3 has no games. They are biased.

And Starcraft, that's not cherry picking. If you state something, and then based 20-30 lines of analyses on your statement, grabbing the statement is not cherry picking.

Saying something like you did, without taking into account that the 360 released, in your words, with the only complete version of the game and sells for less, is cherry picking, if you want to know what it really means.



Guys, just think at 100k difference a week how many weeks would it take to outsell 6.5 million... seems to me that the Ps3 may outsell xbox next year but not before this time next year methinks.



Endure. In enduring, grow strong.

@DOATS1

And dont you think its disappointing that a racing game is selling as well as a creative masterpiece from 2K and a fantastic RPG from Bioware?
